N=1 and all, but my son was quite capable of explaining, clearly and in detail, his inner life at three. He’s on the spectrum and highly intelligent, so that may make him an outlier.
(Both sons did fall for me calling saffron “monkey fur” well into grade school though.)





Thanks for checking the journal’s score. In an earlier career I did IDIs. If recruited correctly, it can inform later qualitative research paths.
N=2 and all, but both my sons are in this age range and have described exactly this post did. Then again, neither is particularly neurotypical, so who knows.
